TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Not that there's anything wrong with it: Trump is really flying his freak flag this week as this compilation of videos put together by CNN’s Anderson Cooper shows.  The president seems obsessed with the backside and physical appearance of Sen. John Husted (R-OH). The Daily Beast snarked that Trump “is having a gay old time”...Hegseth’s team drops the ball. Looks like some staffers working for Pete “Hairgel” Hegseth are moving fast and breaking things.  According to the Washington Post, the manly Secretary of Defense had his eye on the 30-inch globe that General Eisenhower used during WWII. However, Hegseth’s bumbling subordinates dropped the globe in transit causing a rip several inches long around Antarctica.  No word on when the globe becomes operational again...And well deserved: This headline from NewsBusters caught my eye: Broadcast Networks Maintain 100% Negative Coverage of Kash Patel...Dept. of No Surprises: Trump advisor and Kristi Noem’s  long-rumored bedmate Corey Lewandowski is being investigated by the Department of Justice.  He’s alleged to have profited personally from contracts during Noem’s tenure helming the DHS where he worked as her subordinate. (CBS News) He’s run afoul of the law at least two other times including a misdemeanor battery charge in 2021 and another battery charge in  2016 that was later dropped...Weekend Watch: The six-part Netflix series Below, about a giant squid terrorizing a remote Newfoundland fishing community, is cheesy but definitely see-worthy. Try to ignore the fake-looking CGI-created icebergs and concentrate on the fast-moving B-movie plot.  Also worth watching: Tyson, Netflix’s powerful and often poignant four-part documentary examining the life and career of former boxing heavyweight champ Mike Tyson,  a terror in and out of the ring...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
